Life, Times and Milieu of V.F. Odoyevsky - Hardcover

Odoyevsky (1804-1869) was a central figure in Russia, though little known in the West. A leading writer, musicologist, popular educator and public servant, he was close to the major historical events of his period and acquainted with the leading personalities, from Pushkin and Glinka, to Turgenev, Tolstoy and Tchaikovsky, as well as Berlioz and Wagner. Based upon published and unpublished sources in Russia and the West, this is a major work of scholarship, which other scholars and writers will find most useful.
